Method and system for creating an alternative energy vehicle supply station network

A method for creating an alternative energy vehicle supply station network comprising:

• displaying selectable potential alternative energy vehicle supply stations to users via a graphical user interface displayed on remote devices, the potential alternative energy vehicle supply stations being selectable by each of the users of remote devices to submit at least one preference of each user as a user submission, each of the at least one preference including at least one of the potential alternative energy vehicle supply stations;
• updating a memory of a computer to include the user submissions;
• processing, by a processor of the computer, the user submissions by running the preferences through a model defining preselected criteria stored in the memory and determining which of the potential alternative energy vehicle supply stations satisfy the preselected criteria, the model including a solver for satisfying the preselected criteria by identifying a minimal number of potential alternative energy vehicle supply stations satisfying the potential alternative energy vehicle supply stations in the preferences of each of the users for minimal constructions costs;
• outputting, by the computer, the potential alternative energy vehicle supply stations satisfying the preselected criteria by transmitting the potential alternative energy vehicle supply stations identified by the solver to each of the users to inform the users that the potential alternative energy vehicle supply stations identified by the solver have been selected for construction;
• and
• constructing at least one of the outputted potential alternative energy supply stations.
